The high school football action following one of the wildest weeks in 2023 was more stable, with many of the top teams holding ground in the latest Super 25 rankings. But a new team enters the picture as playoff football and championship aspirations loom, reshaping the bottom half of the rankings this week.
The methodology: the HSS staff creates the Super 25 rankings while considering various data points, including strength of schedule, prospects, the more traditional stats—did the team win or lose?—as well as overall point differentials.
